Hi can you help with some ratio and proportion questions​

Mathematics
1 answer:
pochemuha3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

1a. 12 : 40

1b. 15 : 21

1c. 24 : 44

1d. 2 : 25

2. 40 boys and 100 girls

3. 96 girls

4. £71.43

5a. 9 : 4

5b. 3 : 1

5c. 3 : 5

6. 210 : 90

7. Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to solve this question :(

Step-by-step explanation:

Since I'll be using a similar method to solve these questions, I won't go into a detailed explanation for how I solved every single question. If you do need extra help, please ask in the comments below my answer.

1. Let's use part (a) as an example. The ratio is 3:10. To new ratio is ?:40. So, 10 becomes 40. What number multiplied by 10 equals 40? The answer is 4. If 10 is multiplied by 4, then 3 must be multiplied by 4 as well. 3*4 = 12, so the ratio is 12:40.

In part b the ratio is multiplied by 3, part c is 4, and part d is 1/2.

2. To solve this, add the values on both sides of the ratio together: 2 + 5 = 7. Now, divide the total number of pupils, 140, by 7: 140/7 = 20. Finally, multiply 20 by both sides of the ratio: 2 * 20:5 * 20 = 40:100. There are 40 boys and 100 girls.

3. To solve this I used the same method as the one I used in question 1.

4. The ratio is 5:140, where 140 becomes 2000. To solve, use the method used in question 1.

5. Simplifying ratios is the same as simplifying fractions. Find the greatest common factor of the values on both sides of the ratio and divide both sides by that factor. For example, in part a the factor for 45:20 is 5. 45/5 = 9 and 20/5 = 4. The ratio becomes 9:4.

For part b the factor is 9 and for part c the factor is 50.

6. Same method as was used in question 2.

Hope this helps :)

Which of the following is NOT equivalent to the nxn matrix A being invertible? A. The homogeneous system associated to A has a u
storchak [24]

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

  • For the matrix A of order n\times n to be invertible, its determinant must not be equal to zero, |A| \neq0, A^{- 1}  exists if- AC = CA = I, where I is identity matrix.
  1. The homogeneous equation with coefficient matrix A has a unique solution:

       AB = 0, B = A^{- 1}.0 = 0

      Thus, B = (0, 0, 0......., 0) is a unique solution

     2. The non - homogeneous equation system with coefficient matrix A has  a unique solution:

For an equation- AY = D

Y = A^{- 1}.D is a unique solution

     3. Every non homogeneous equation with coefficient matrix A is not consistent as:

For an equation- AY = D, has a solution.l Thus coefficient matrix is inconsistent whereas augmented matrix is.

      4. Rank of matrix A = n, Thus the column space of A is R^{n}

      5. Since, column space of A = R^{n}, thus x→xA is one-to-one

The function d(x) = |x 100| can be used to find the number of degrees a container of water at a temperature of x degrees Celsius
Volgvan

Answer:

f(d(x)) = \frac{9}{5}|x^{100}| + 32

Step-by-step explanation:

The function d(x) takes a value of x in degrees centigrade and provides the number of degrees that a container of water at that temperature x is far from the boiling point of water.

The function f(d) takes a value d in degrees centigrade and returns a value d(x) in degrees fahrenheit.

Therefore, by doing f(d(x)) we are introducing the function d(x) within the function f(d).

So the range of d(x) now is the domain of f(d(x))

This means that the function f(d(x)) shows the <em>number of degrees Fahrenheit</em> that a water container at a<em> temperature x in degrees Celsius</em> is far from the boiling point of water.

f(d(x)) = \frac{9}{5}|x^{100}| + 32
